"HAIL TO THE CHIEF"
So Says Ante Lucem Referring to
Senator De LaVergne.

Senator De Layergne.
The travelling men, assisted by the
GLOBE, came to the front in great shape
last Saturday, getting there with both
feet and hands; in fact, all four. We
all thank the GLOBE, especially the
genial editor of the commercial trav-
elers' column, Tom Holmes. The letter
from ScOttie was full of the real, with
only sufficient coloring TO make it very
interesting reading. He can write
readable letter as we'll as sell bill of
dry goods.
TO say that l was disappointed at the
manifest of "YnOt'' would be far too
mild. For one if consistent so to do,
hope the resolution will soon be broken.
Be that as it may, let the thanks of
every travelling man go forth to ''Ynot''
for the good he has done the craft. His
good will toward US can only be re-
Quilted by a like return. If we must
part, let the parting be as was the meet
ing-in friendship and good cheer.
The incoming year no doubt will see
quite good many changes. Perhaps
some new faces among us, while those
we have been wont to look upon will
HE themselves to other sections of the
country, to pastures new, at least, so
far as their individual experiences go.
Whatever may be the changes, let the
fields of labor opened up through the
GLOBE and Tribune be cultivated and
improved. 1t is to be one of incalcul-
able benefit to the travelling men who
radiate about the twin cities. To the
cities themselves it is of no small inn
pOrtance. To the jobbing houses it is
of great worth, and must sooner or later
be means of eementing stronger the

SERIOUS COMPLAINT.
chants that Reflect Unfavorably
Upon Them,

Tales Told of Commission Mer-
chants that Reflect UnfavorabIy
Upon Them,
The boys from the Twin Cities who
work down into the territory east of
Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls, getting
down into the very heart of Chicago
and Milwaukee's territory and succeed
ing in selling lots of goods have great
deal to feel proud of, as they have nu-
merous things to contend with, finding
the trade prejudiced against them by
more causes than one, competition in
prices cutting no figure at all, as they
can sell justas cheaply as their Eastern
competitors, and having houses back of
them with dispositions to do whatever
is right, always lenient in eases
which require it. / have been asked a
great many times, "Are there no hon
est or reliable commission houses in
St. Paul?'
1t comes from almost every town and
almost every merchant who has farmers
trade to deal with, taking butter, eggs
and poultry in payment of accounts.
One party told me of sending lot of
eggs to one of our commission men
and received in return nothing but the
cases. Another of sending butter and
receiving in payment a check, which,
Oh being presented at the bank, was re-
fused. The merchant then placed it in
the hands of a collecting agent, from
which he will probably receive very lit
tie in settling when the costs are de-
Quoted, if the account is ever collected
at all. A few days ago one asked me
this question, and told me of sending
about LOCO pounds of dressed turkeys to
st. Paul and received a statement show
ing it to net him just AZ cents pound,
the commission man not yet having
made any remittance, although it was a
month ago that it was sent.
These are only few of the many
complaints which have been made to
me in comparatively short time. 1t
may seem that have meddled in some
thing which does not concern or affect
us, but to great extent, although indi-
rectly, it Injuries the reputation of our
business institutions and leads the
trade, who have had otherwise no deal
ingS with our city, to infer that our
business men are not to be relied upon.
Trade along the line is rather quiet.

Z BABY'S SKIN AND SCALP

years, fell against the stove while he was

left ear. had good DOCTOR DR.. -, to at
tend him but he got worse, and the doctor
could not cure him. His whole head, face

laid his hand on the side next the stove.
Greatest danger is from somebody
meddling with it. Our house never had

that wreck-they had to order out the

hole it made"
Charley shook his head sadly. and the
little man who had attempted to move
that sample case edged up to the desk.

'Come to think of it, he whispered
nervously to the clerk, Il won't want
that room tonight. guess Eli stay in
the train. I've got some things there l
want to watch, you know"
The clerk assured him that the train
men would look after them, but he
wouldn't have it that way-nothing
would do but he must go himself. l
happened up beside him just then, and,
finding he was bound to leave, took the
room in the most innocent way in the
world.
The clerk assigned me the room all
right, but he kept glazing over at Char
ley and his case full of internal ma
chimes all the while, and the little man
started for the door.

When it comes to experience, he is
about the same age as Methuselah. He
travels for the Minnesota soap company,
and is located in Minneapolis. About
the liveliest trade Frank has is during
political campaigns. He is not much of
a politician, although his high. broad
forehead indicates that he would make
a success in this line if his taste should
happen to run in that direction. AL
though not one of the ilk himself, Frank
always manages to mix up with poll
ticians, for it is his business to do so.
They are always in need of more or less
soap, and when they happen to want it
he is right there with both feet. He is

TRUCKING A TRAVELLER.
How Two DrummerS With Re-
sources Got a Bed in a Frontier


Town.
Nick Snowman always has a good
story to tell. A representative of the
Omaha Bee found him at the Willard,
resting from his labors, and this is the
tale he unfolded:
You know Charley W.? Well, Char
and | were showed in up on the Broken
Bow line last winter. The train Just
managed to make little station along
about dark, and we tied up there for the
night. There was a light load Oh, but
every mothers son and one daughter of
them piled out and made for the only
hotel in the place. Of course, Charley and
/ had to help the daughter along, and
when we reached the hotel everything
was taken. They fixed the daughter
up on cot in the hall, and
the urbane clerk offered Charley
and | the soft side of a couple of
chairs in the office: but. YOU see, we
had been figuring on just such situa-
ton, and we thought we might get some
thing better. We didn't swear and try
to cut up rusty, but Charley stepped
over and set his sample case in chair
near the stove, around which everybody
was standing; then we lit our cigars
and waited for superior developments.
In minute little nervous fellow, who
had been spreading his cOat-tailS before
the stove, got too warm, and looked for
a chair. The one with Charley's SAM
pie case in it was nearest, and he
reached out for the case to set it off the
chair. Well, he hadn't touched it be-
fore Charley gave yell that would have
curdled the blood of Sioux; he jumped
over everybody between him and the
case, and snatched it away from the lit
tie fellow in minute,
